We came in early this morning to check counts and sure enough Ethan needed platelets. He was at 23 and needs to be above 30. His hemo is also low, now at 8.1, but he'll get that transfusion Thursday along with his outpatient chemo. He has definitely been a bit weaker but doing well otherwise. He's getting excited for Christmas!
Brynn has had a cold for a few days but none of us have caught it. Ethan's ANC is at 1,000 with a high neutrophil count so he has managed to avoid getting her cold.
We will update again after Thursday's check up.
Love to all,
Nikki & Fam
